Thai material of Allomorphia setosa Craib (correctly named Oxyspora howellii if placed in the genus Oxyspora, as was done by Renner et al., Fl. Thailand 7(3): 459. 2001) differs from Chinese material of A. baviensis in the longer and much stiffer pubescence of the entire plant. The Chinese gatherings identified as A. setosa in FRPS (53(1): 168. 1984) do not match the Thai material, but fit well with the type and more recent gatherings of A. baviensis.
